March 29, 2013

TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu’s son Lokesh Friday called on the fasting leaders to boost their morale.
Talking to reporters, he said it was unfortunate that the government was indifferent towards the issue and was also insensitive to the condition of the fasting leaders.

He said this was the height of the government�s insensitivity.

Once the wish is fulfilled devotees then walk 108 times around the temple. Daily 1000s of people come there and this list also comprises of the film celebrities.

Today, the visitors at the temple were surprised to see a beautiful girl. She is none other than Shruti Haasan.

Jaffa Movie Review – 1.75/5

March 29, 2013

Rating – 1.75/5
Film: Jaffa
Starring: Brahmanandam,Ali,Dhanraj,Tagubothu Ramesh
Director: Vennela Kishore
Producer: Ramesh Varma
Banner: Multi Dimensions Entertainments
Music: Sunil Kashyap

Story

Jasmine Falguda aka Jaffa (Brahmanandam) lands in Jail with unfortunate events. He is a software engineer and due to his sadistic boss (Melkoti) and colleague he ends up in Jail. Jaffa is intelligent and his ideas make him popular. Jailer Nikki (Vennela Kishore) takes help of Jaffa to get out of his personal problems. Nikki falls in trouble due to an incident and Jaffa tries to help him out by escaping from Jail. The rest forms the story of Jaffa.

Performances

It is known fact that Brahmanandam is a great actor and he is best in doing comedy. In this, he carried out the role on his shoulders playing the title role but his timing and dialogue delivery couldn�t help at times due to the bad writing.

Vennela Kishore as an actor scored good. Ali is just okay while Thagubothu Ramesh and Dhanraj are hilarious. Melkoti, Venu are decent, Ahuti Prasad was wasted. There isn�t much scope for rest of the cast.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography is not upto the mark and the film carried no songs. Vennela Kishore has penned the dialogues as well for the film which are okay. Direction is bad and screenplay is pretty average.

Analysis

Vennela Kishore scores as an actor and in dialogues but fails in direction department for Jaffa. He has come up with a new thought process but the inconsistent screenplay and slow pace fails in keeping audiences glued to the screens.

The film had few good comedy sequences and with Brahmi�s comic timing and dialogue delivery, they work well here and there. But the film had quite a lot of illogical sequences and logic has gone for a toss big time. First half of the film is crisp, thanks to the editor and is passable but the second half is terrible with dragged narration, even Brahmanandam couldn�t help due to the jerky screenplay which ultimately leads to boredom. The climax fizzles out after a while. The film will have good openings due to Brahmanandam but it�s hard to click at the Box-Office.

Final Verdict

Except very few comic scenes, Jaffa fails to keep you hooked!!!

CM is trying to protect his “CHAIR”

March 29, 2013

State BJP president G Kishan Reddy has said the State government, which was not spending funds, has no moral right to impose taxes on the people.

Speaking to the media here on Friday, Kishan Reddy said the people were suffering a lot due to the menacing power cut and drinking water problems. Alleging that Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy was consuming all the time on how to protect his seat and how to impose taxes on the people, the BJP leader has alleged that the much trumpeted �Jalayagnam� has turned out to be a �Dhana yagnam� (minting money) for the greedy contractors and the ruling party leaders. Stating that the government had wasted Rs 85,000 crores of public money in the name of �Jalayagnam�, Kishan Reddy said not a single project was completed so far and there was not even a watchman at the project site now.

Alleging that the drinking water problem was severe in the villages, Kishan Reddy said the people were facing hardships to get a pail of water. Alleging that rural population in the State were spending sleepless dark nights due to power cut.

The BJP leader said the people were also suffering from health problems due to lack of sanitation as there were no elected representatives in the local bodies to set right the worsening situation. While the living conditions in the villages were horrible, the Chief Minister was always immersed in thoughts as to how to protect his seat, woo the MLAs and how to impose taxes on the people sitting in the Secretariat, he added.

Pointing out that investments were not coming to the State as industrialists were not happy with the political atmosphere, he said while Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi spread a red carpet to the industrialists, Kiran Kumar Reddy was showing red signal to them.

Alleging that Kiran Kumar Reddy government was the only government that imposed VAT on cloth, he said the State government was not in a position even to spend the Central funds. �Therefore, this government has no right to impose taxes on the people�. Stating that AP stood in the last row in spending Central funds, he asked the State government how the Centre would release fresh funds when it failed to spend the last year�s grant. He said the BJP would oppose the government�s proposal of include the Muslims in BCs for providing reservations to them in the local body elections. He also asked all the political parties to oppose �this political move� of the State government.
